PTY Button

The PTY search function permits you to scan available broadcasts for RDS stations broad- casting a particular type of program content.

1.Press the PTY button. The current RDS pro- gram type will appear in the display.

2.If desired, change to a different PROGRAM TYPE using the TUNING UP/DOWN but- tons to scroll through the list.

3.Press the PTY button a second time within 5 seconds. The tuner will attempt to find an RDS station broadcasting the selected type of program. If the button is not pressed within 5 seconds after selecting a program type, the PTY function will be cancelled.

4.If no station is located for the desired con- tent type, the tuner will return to the last previously tuned station.

5.Cancel the PTY function by pressing any other button.

NOTE: If the currently tuned station is broad- casting PTY data, a PTY indicator lights in the front-panel display.

TP Button

Searches for an RDS station broadcasting traffic information programming:

1.Press the TP button. The tuner attempts to find an RDS station broadcasting the traf- fic programming. If a station is found, a TP indicator lights in the front-panel display.

2.If no station is located, the tuner will re- turn to the last previously tuned station.

3.Cancel the TP function by pressing any other button.

TA Button

Searches for an RDS station broadcasting special traffic announcements:

1.Press the TA button. The tuner will attempt to find an RDS station broadcasting traf- fic announcements.

2.If no station is located, the tuner will re- turn to the last previously tuned station.

3.Cancel the TA function by pressing any other button.

Connections: Overview

The RSX-1055 connections include standard RCA audio inputs and outputs, composite video inputs and outputs, S-Video inputs and outputs, Component Video inputs, plus coaxial and op- tical digital inputs and outputs.

NOTE: Surround formats like Dolby Digital and DTS are digital formats and the RSX-1055 can only decode them when a digital input signal is available. For this reason, you should always connect your DVD player’s digital outputs to the RSX-1055, using either the optical or coax inputs.

The RSX-1055 has RCA preamp audio out- puts for use with external amplifiers as well as composite video, S-Video, and Component Video outputs to connect your TV monitor.

The RSX-1055 also has MULTI input connec- tions, a remote IR sensor input, and two 12V trigger connections for remote turn-on of Ro- tel amplifiers.

NOTE: Do not plug any system component into an AC source until all connections have been properly made.

Video cables should have a 75 ohm imped- ance rating. The S/PDIF digital audio inter- face standard also specifies a 75 ohm imped- ance and all good digital cables adhere to this requirement. Because the video and S/PDIF standards are so close, you can use a video cable for digital audio data transmis- sion. Do NOT substitute conventional audio interconnect cables for digital or video signals. Standard audio interconnects will pass these signals, but their limited bandwidth reduce per- formance.

When making signal connections, connect LEFT channels to LEFT channel jacks and RIGHT chan- nels to RIGHT channel jacks. All RCA-type connections on the RSX-1055 follow these stan- dard color codes:

Left channel audio: white RCA jack

Right channel audio: red RCA jack

Composite video: yellow RCA jack

NOTE: Each source input must be properly configured using the INPUT MENU of the ON-SCREEN DISPLAY system. We recom- mend going to this menu after connecting each source to configure it as desired. See the INPUT MENU section for information.

Video Connections

The RSX-1055 provides S-Video and Compo- nent Video connections for those who wish to use them. However, standard Composite video cables provide excellent picture quality in most systems and their use for all input and output connections will greatly simplify installation and configuration of the unit.

If you choose to use S-Video or Component Video connections, be aware of the follow- ing implications for the configuration of your system:

On Screen Menu Display: The RSX-1055ON-SCREEN MENU system is available for all inputs when using a Composite or S-Video cable from the TV MONITOR outputs to the TV set. The ON-SCREEN MENU is not avail- able when using Component video cables.

System Set-Up:System setup should be done while using a Composite video or S-Video cable connecting the RSX-1055 TV MONITOR out- puts to the video inputs of the TV or projec- tor. Select OSD ( ON-SCREEN MENU) from the RR-969 remote control to complete system setup.

NOTE: On a PAL standard monitor, the OSD cannot be displayed until a video signal is present, irrespective of the type of video cables in use. For setup, connect the video output from your DVD player and select its input on the RSX-1055. The OSD will be dis- played as an overlay to the video signal from the DVD player.

Composite and S-Video: With certain ex- ceptions, a system should be connected with either all Composite or all S-Video cables. S-Video signals from sources cannot be sent to a TV set from the RSX-1055 TV MONITOR outputs with a Composite video cable. Con- versely, Composite video signals from sources cannot be sent to a TV set from the RSX-1055 TV MONITOR outputs with an S-Video cable. Therefore, Composite and S-Video connections cannot be easily “mixed” in a system.

However, both Composite and S-Video cables may be connected from the RSX-1055 TV MONI- TOR outputs to both Composite and S-Video in- puts on a TV or projector. This dual connection from the RSX-1055 will provide limited S-Video capability in a system that is predominantly con- nected with Composite video cables, however
